Requests: crosswalk

Rescue the Perishing church at 1260 Flatbush has multiple members double parking their cars for hours , not just a few minutes to hop in and pick something up, and do this every Sunday now- between Newkirk and Stephens Court - the entire block. It is a traffic hazard and dangerous for those trying to turn the corner - their cars stick out into the crosswalk and we cannot see to get around the corner.

The situation is still ongoing. Multiple cars and a van were double parked on Flatbush Ave the entire Sunday of 2/12. When I filed an illegal parking complaint C1-1-1524604744, I received a response that: "The Police Department responded to the complaint and determined that police action was not necessary". Please advise, because the situation has not improved and the local police department is ignoring the problem.

The intersection at Marlborough and Newkirk is very dangerous. While the recently installed cross walks are a good thing, cars rarely stop or even slow for pedestrians crossing. Because of its location near the Newkirk Plaza train station, and its proximity to PS 217, this intersection sees heavy foot traffic. Really what is needed is a four-way stop, but at the very least some traffic patrol would be a good thing. In addition to failure to yield to pedestrians, cars frequently drive fast and/or recklessly on Newkirk, and down Marlborough. It seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Many thanks for your time and attention.

A stop sign on Newkirk Avenue at the intersection with Marlborough Road was requested in January 2017. The Department of Transportation's Signal Engineering Unit will conduct a study at this location. Brooklyn Borough Commissioner will advise us of their findings by mid-May 2017." Thank you.

White BMW with nypd vest (just a ploy to illegally park anywhere) with Maryland plate (vin is covered) likes to park at meters and now parks in the crosswalk where wheelchairs and strollers have to go in the st to cross.

Why do the police double park or park blocking crosswalks when going to Catskill Bagels or John's Bakery on Cortelyou? Is this legal? The other day I saw a police car from the right lane put on its siren and lights, make a sweeping u-turn, then turn everything off only to park in front of the bagel shop to see the officers walk in to get breakfast.
